At Spurs Pochettino came in and seriously cleared house, including making Adebayor, Spurs star player at the time, go and train with the under 18's. Selling the club captain and focusing on youth. His 2014/15 list of departures
Sigurdsson, Livermore, Sandro, Naughton, Dawson, Fryers, Falque, Assou-Ekotto.
Then in 2015/16 departures
Soldado, Townsend, Paulinho, Capoue, Stambouli, Chiriches, Holtby, Lennon, Kaboul, Adebayor, Freidel
19 first team and reserve players gone in two seasons. In that time he brought in some key players under his regime, Davies, Alli, Dier, Son, Alderweireld, Trippier. Who he added to the core squad he wanted to keep, Vertonghen, Eriksen, Lamela, Lloris, Kane, Walker, Rose.
Would he be permitted to do squad restructuring on this sort of scale here? Would Woody be happy for Poch to just cast off star players he is not keen on and sell them like he did with Adebayor? Im not so sure he would get the kind of freedom he got at Spurs to rebuild the squad.
